I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 47

Episode 047

“Yes. that’s right.”

I simply nodded, and the grandmother smiled brightly and grabbed my hand.

“You did a great job! “I heard you saved a lot of people. What a great thing!”

My face seems to get brighter at the sudden compliment.

The situation got worse as I struggled to know what to do.

Some of the people who had been listening earlier had quietly approached me.

“Don’t do it!” You’ve done something amazing, unlike any other young person you’ve seen these days. “How could something so small have thought of entering such a scary place alone…”

One of the grandfathers spoke in an exaggerated tone, and several others nodded in agreement. I

suddenly found myself among the elders and received a barrage of praise.

What is this? It’s a thing. What the hell.

“Even though he’s small, he’s stronger than a bigger hunter. I think you’re so ignorant that you think hunters make a living by being big.”

“What? Ignorance? Did this old man finish what he said?”

When the two grandfathers suddenly started to fight, another grandfather intervened, saying,

“I’m so anxious that I can’t fight in a situation like this. What are you talking about? These days, something like Wi-Fi has exploded and the whole world is in chaos. I’m so scared that I can’t live.”

“It’s not Wi-Fi, it’s a dungeon.”

When the grandmother who spoke to me for the first time politely corrected me, my grandfather scratched his head sheepishly.

“Ah, a dungeon. Aren’t they both going to explode? That’s it.”

“How can they be the same? There was a really ignorant guy here.”

The atmosphere suddenly lightened when the old men who were about to fight burst into laughter.

I guess they weren’t really interested in me, but just wanted to use me as an excuse to sit down and chat.

While I sat there like a sack of barley, the elders talked a lot. They started talking.

I was just watching TV in a half-fazed state.

Why am I here?

Mr. Seo Ji-han, just laugh out loud. You must be covering your mouth and shaking because no one is listening. You

sigh and watch TV. As I was watching, the tone of the news suddenly changed with serious music.

“This is news that just came in. Mr. Kim Young-gil, a production hunter belonging to the Amhyeon Guild, was found collapsed in his workshop early this morning. He was immediately transferred to Amhyeon Hospital, but unfortunately passed away. 〉

Everyone who was talking about the scandalous content paid attention to the TV.

〈Hunter Kim Young-gil is a craftsman who is famous for being able to produce a wider variety of consumer items than anyone else and for being more efficient. An official in the hunter industry said this incident He expressed concern that the supply of domestic consumer items would be greatly reduced.〉

I know this person. He is

a producer of essential consumer items such as escape stone healing potions, one of the few in Korea. He

is a hunter who holds a unique position in the Amhyeon Guild and in Korea as well. 〈In the closed-circuit video confirmed by

the police after the accident, it was confirmed that Hunter Kim Young-gil was assaulted by someone.〉

“Who killed such a big man?”

Someone asked a question as if they were talking to themselves.

The answer came right away on TV.

“The identity of the criminal confirmed through this video is very shocking.”

Who is it?

“The suspect who killed Hunter Kim Young-gil is the number one hunter in the combat world.” He has been confirmed to be Hunter Han. The police have currently placed Hunter Seo Ji-han on an urgent public wanted list. If you know Hunter Seo Ji-han’s whereabouts, please report it to the nearest investigative agency immediately.〉 I was watching the news with interest and froze

. .

Seo Ji-han?

How can a person who has become a ghost commit murder?

Following the breaking news, a video of the crime was played.

The person in the video could not clearly see his face, but he had a large scythe and was spreading black energy.

The symbol of Seo Ji-han . It looks like a sword.

– Not me.

I nodded.

Of course.

There is no way that the current Seo Ji-han, who is inside a straw doll and can barely operate the TV remote control, could kill a person.

But everyone except me thinks Seo Ji-han is He seemed to completely believe that this guy was a murderer.

“Hey, I knew that guy would do something like that someday. His eyes are full of venom, and he’s very mean.”

Although he has sharp eyes…

“I heard you once beat up a student?”

“I also heard that they broke into the senior citizen’s home and started a riot!”

“I heard that he lured innocent women into being hunters and abandoned them without mercy.”

“I heard that there are more than ten children who were abandoned without knowing.”

Some of the rumors people were pouring out were things I had heard before, and some were new to me.

I’ve heard so many rumors about Seo Ji-han’s violence, but he has a child?

I was listening quietly with a mixed feeling, but people suddenly started talking to me as if they didn’t like it.

“yes? Be careful with Hunter Son. He’s a very bad guy. “If you get entangled, it will ruin your life.”

“He’s a libertine. A libertine. Isn’t he? There’s no such thing as a gangster, right?”

I was very embarrassed by the attention pouring in from both Seo Ji-han and the residents.

If I didn’t know Seo Ji-han, I would have believed what was said in the news.

His image is usually so bad.

So, I could understand why the residents thought this way.

I wanted to take Seo Ji-han’s side, but taking the side of the criminal when news of the murder broke out seems a bit strange no matter how I look at it.

I pretended to agree with public opinion so as not to hurt the hearts of the elders.

“That’s right. It’s really fierce, scary, and violent.” “I heard that it does.”

Ah, it stings.

Seo Ji-han’s staring gaze from the side is so stinging.

“Isn’t that right? I heard he was so mean! That guy is so good at dressing up that he goes around bewitching many women. Don’t ever be seduced by Sonmoa Hunter. If you’re bewitched by a guy like that. “You are driving a nail into your parents’ hearts!”

Suddenly, I remember what the shaman said.

Didn’t he say that he was a ghost who had never been in a relationship?

While I was lost in thought for a moment, the adults’ slander against Seo Ji-han was rapidly increasing in level.

It was embarrassing to hear it right in front of him.

Seo Ji-han had a calm face, as if nothing had happened, but I felt very embarrassed.

In the end, I went against public opinion and stood on Seo Ji-han’s side.

“Even if he didn’t have that cheapness, he didn’t seem like such a bad person.”

I felt stinging eyes coming from all directions.

Seo Ji-han also looked surprised.

Hey, I went out with all my heart, but the person in question looked at me that way.

“Have you met yet?”

With a suspicious face, an old man opened the sign up.

He looked like

he was trying to catch a pod. “Yes. When I was caught up in a Chungwang-type dungeon before, he gave me an escape stone and killed a monster, so I barely survived.”

“Hmm, really? What a strange thing. Didn’t you try to seduce Hunter? “It could be because she’s this pretty.”

All the other elders nodded at the grandfather’s words.

Strangely enough, adults used to look at me very favorably.

I think it’s probably because he has a gentle appearance.

“haha.”

When I laughed lightly, the elders chatted for a while and then quickly changed the topic.

After the news broke, the food channel started appearing.

Thanks to the video of rice cake being pulled at the mill captivating all the elderly people, I was able to quietly get my hunter’s card and leave the community center.

“What on earth is going on with that news?”

– don’t mind.

Seo Ji-han said it indifferently, but I just couldn’t do it.

But since he doesn’t want to talk any more, I’m just worried.

– Well, it’s no big deal. It’s just news that the son of a bitch has done one more shitty thing.

I was at a loss for words for a moment at the sarcastic tone in which he spoke as if it were someone else’s business.

“I didn’t mean what I said earlier.”

Seo Ji-han smiled crookedly when he voluntarily paid his taxes, remembering that he had sympathized with the elderly and criticized him earlier.

– For something like that, you don’t stutter?

“That…”

– What about that?

“It’s true that it’s fierce and violent.”

– You… Then what did you mean that you weren’t sincere?

“The part about him being a scary person?”

– Are you saying you’re not scared anymore?

“Are you scared? I even saw you getting into the straw and rustling around.”

He was choosing words as if he wanted to say something, but he just shook his head at my innocent expression.

– Sigh… How did I end up like this?

Seo Ji-han lamented softly.

But the heavy expression had already disappeared.

We were like always. I returned home grumpy.

As soon as I sat down on the sofa, I turned on the TV and the news was playing again.

I put the dumplings I bought for lunch into my mouth and looked at Seo Ji-han’s thoughts.

Unlike before, he looked calm.

Now . I think it would be okay to ask…

“Hey…”

I began carefully, and he looked back at me with a puzzled look on his face.

– why?

“I have a question about that.”

– What? Oh, there are no kids.

After thinking for a moment, he added in an unpleasant tone.

– I have never dated a woman. Damn, I hated to admit it, but that shaman is a dragon.

No, that wasn’t what I was curious about.

“No, that’s probably fine.”

– Oh, I guess it’s good.

“yes. “It’s the news from earlier.”

– Yes.

Seo Ji-han waited quietly for me to speak with a somewhat dejected look on his face.

“The culprit. The guy who impersonated Seo Ji-han and killed people. Do you think you know who it is? “Does anyone have any clues?”

– well? There must be one or two people who hate me.

Although he was coldly sarcastic, he seemed to know something.

But I don’t think I really want to say anything.

Should I just cover it up and move on?
